The House of Representatives yesterday passed an extremely disturbing bill that you need to know about. The bill, H.R. 1981 requires your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to track and record for 12 months all your online activities such as what web sites you visit and what content you post online.

Additionally, the information would then be available to the government, in secret and without any court oversight, based on weak and outdated electronic privacy laws. Can you say Lulsec or Anon hacking this database and just letting all your data go on the Internet? This is crazy but don’t fret, there is something you can do about it.

Since this is just a bill and not yet law, it can still be overturned. To help stop this bill from becoming law, you will need to fill out this form here and submit it. It will be sent to your state representative in an attempt to get everyone to overturn this bill. Please make sure to share this with anyone you know that uses the Internet (should be everyone!) to help get this bill overturned.

EFF Senior Staff Attorney Kevin Bankston had this to say about today's vote:

The data retention mandate in this bill would treat every Internet user like a criminal and threaten the online privacy and free speech rights of every American, as lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have recognized. Requiring Internet companies to redesign and reconfigure their systems to facilitate government surveillance of Americans' expressive activities is simply un-American. Such a scheme would be as objectionable to our Founders as the requiring of licenses for printing presses or the banning of anonymous pamphlets. Today's vote is therefore very disappointing, but we are especially thankful to GOP Representatives Sensenbrenner, Issa and Chaffetz, who chose principle over party-line in opposing this dangerous tech mandate. We hope that bipartisan opposition will grow as the bill makes its way to the House floor and more lawmakers are educated about this anti-privacy, anti-free speech, anti-innovation proposal.

"A last-minute rewrite of the bill expands the information that commercial Internet providers are required to store to include customers' names, addresses, phone numbers, credit card numbers, bank account numbers, and temporarily-assigned IP addresses, some committee members suggested. By a 7-16 vote, the panel rejected an amendment that would have clarified that only IP addresses must be stored."

E-commerce platform Shopify is presently conducting its second annual Build-A-Business contest for Web entrepreneurs. The company is offering over $500,000 in winnings, including a $100,000 first prize, to inspire people to start an online business.

To provide entrepreneurs with additional support, Shopify has teamed up with experts Seth Godin, Gary Vaynerchuk and Tim Ferriss to provide ongoing advice, education and encouragement to contestants. The concept is simple: think of something to sell, create an online store, and then build your business.

The contest runs until December 31, and participants can sign up any time as long as they’re selling for at least two months prior to the end of the year. The store with the highest grossing two months (non-consecutive) wins the grand prize, with six $20,000 prizes awarded to winners from designated categories: Apparel and Jewelry, Food and Health, Sports and Hobbies, Art and Photography, Home and Office, and Other.

Contestants will be using Shopify’s Software-as-a-Service platform, and previous technical or e-commerce experience is not required to enter.

“The prize money is significant, but don't forget the spirit of the contest: to give a kick in the pants to all those people who have wanted to start businesses but haven’t,” said Tobi Lütke, co-founder and CEO of Shopify. “The real prize is having a business of your own at the end of the contest.”

Shopify will be offering marketing and sales tips through a Build-A-Business website, which will offer insight from partners and sponsors such as Google, MailChimp and PayPal.

Shopify has also built out significant prizes for the winners to help their businesses succeed long after the contest:

• Grand Prize: $100,000 cash; VIP trip to New York for lunch with Seth Godin; one-hour power session with Gary Vaynerchuk; trip to Google headquarters to chat with experts; and a dinner with Tim Ferriss.• 6 Industry Prizes: $20,000 cash each; VIP trip to New York for lunch with Seth Godin; $7,500 Google AdWords credit.• Canadian Prize: $5,000 credit at the Apple Store; VIP trip to New York for lunch with Seth Godin; $15,000 Google AdWords credit.

The winner of last year’s contest – which saw nearly 1,400 businesses created and generated over $3.5 million in combined revenue – was DODOcase, a San Francisco company that makes iPad cases using traditional book-binding techniques. The founders, Patrick Buckley and Craig Dalton, are now running a company with projected annual earnings of $4 to $5 million.

Web hosting enables you to own a piece of cyberspace which is accessible on the World Wide Web. You can upload several documents, files, data, bulletins or news in that space. There are a number of web hosting companies that provide you space on their server as well as Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Some web hosting companies also provide connectivity to the Internet and data center space for servers they do not own. This method of web hosting is known as colocation. However, to receive this space it is essential for you to own Internet with a network connection to the Internet backbone and computers operating as servers. It offers access to your files and mail server for people on the World Wide Web in order to view the website as well as to send and receive email with you. Usually simplest web hosting companies provide a page and limited file storage and upload, whereas more advanced website needs a service that provides access to the own control panel for managing e-mail accounts as well as for installing scripts.

Web Hosting Features:

Before selecting the web hosting features, there are certain other factors that must be considered such as your budget, the type of website and required storage and bandwidth. Running an e-commerce site requires an online payment system; thereby you need secure sockets layer (SSL) encryption and shopping carts, whereas online forum sites or a blog requires PHP or Perl/ CGI scripting as well as access to a database system like PostgreSQL, MySQL or Microsoft's SQL Server. Thereby, the first task while selecting a web hosting company is to identify your true needs as any extra feature will add up to the cost of your web site. Fix criteria for your required features selection such as the amount of bandwidth and storage capacity as well as determine whether your site needs features like spam protections and website builders.

It is very essential to find a reliable web hosting company that have the ability to cope up with troubles on system breakdowns. There are certain guidelines, with the help of which you can avoid the common mistakes while searching a web site hosting company.

The Do's:

Do a thorough research: Search in the Internet about the various web hosting companies and make a list that provides all the features you require. Make a comparative study and check which one is providing the best deal. You can also utilize the online forums and speak with other webmasters about their opinion. Once you decide on a particular web hosting company, spend some time reading the opinions of others about the company. Examine the reviews and look into the history and achievement of the company. Consider certain factors such as the data center they are located at, the number of customers they have, the number of employees proving support as well as consider the time period since they have been in this business. If possible also speak to one of their existing client to get a better picture about their services.

Consider your requirements: Make a list of your requirements including the storage capacity, bandwidth as well as the various features. Everyone wants a lot of space and bandwidth for their site, but look out whether you actually need them. If not, then it is better not to waste more money that you have to pay for the extra bandwidth and storage space, which will not even be used. In fact, if you want to use scores of resources on your website, it is better to go for a hosting plan with a little head room. This helps you to avoid any kind of excess charges in case you have spikes in traffic.

Do have a good back up plan: It is wise to plan a back up support in advance to deal with any kind of system breakdowns or other related problems. You can not always rely on your web hosting company to keep backups of your sites, as most of them don't. However, in certain cases the new companies do keep the backups. Keeping good back ups ensure that you will suffer less amount of data loss and downtime if you ever do have problems with your host and plan to move somewhere else.

Do check for contact support: Before deciding on a particular web hosting company, contact the potential company and ask them a few simple queries about their service, expertise and experience. Look out how promptly as well as the way they provide you the answers. The main objective of this is to estimate their response time as well as the quality of their reply.

The Don'ts:

Do not choose a host on price alone: It is always better not to choose a web hosting company only on the basis of their pricing. You will find a number of cheap web hosting providers from whom you get only what you pay for. But there is a very less chance of getting quality service from them. For an average reliability, generally, you need to pay at least .50 cents for one gigabyte of bandwidth. However, if you want high quality hosting you will have to pay three or four times more.

Do not use free web hosting: Avoid the common web page mistake, if you want people to take your online business seriously. Free web hosting earns their revenue by placing numerous advertising on your site some of which may even harm a computer. Your customers will not like this at all; moreover this also gets in the way of your credibility. Further more, choosing a professional web hosting provider ensures that you have a reliable domain host and will also enable your customers to trust you with their credit card information.

Do not trust customer testimonials blindly: It is advisable not to trust the customer testimonials published at the site of your potential web hosting company. Most of them are self created or just a part of the whole story, thereby better not be taken at face value. Instead, you can read the reviews or better go to the various online web hosting forums and speak to the webmasters, who have been using or have earlier used the services of the same company. This will give you better and authentic information about the company's services. However, if the web hosting company lists contact information as well as the web site of the testimonials listed then they may be reliable.

Avoid looking for free domain incorporated with web hosting: Most of people have a tendency to go for web hosting companies that offer free domain along with its hosting plans. But it is always better to keep the domain separate from the hosting company. Purchasing hosting plan along with free domain is fine as long as the domain is registered in your name and belongs to you. However, in most of the cases, such companies register the domain to their name and just let you to borrow it. Hence, there always remains the risk that they might hold the domain as hostage if in case you decide to move to a different web hosting company.

When you make the decision to start a website for your business, it is a big step. Going from the world of offline business where clients are limited to geographical locations to online where the entire world is a potential client can be overwhelming.

The point of this article is to help you to the next level and show you what this amazing subject has to offer. There are many stuff to take into consideration. You have the harvest to advertise, and the shape of the website all inleaned out, now it is time to put it all together by choosing a web hosting group. The first thing you should resolve on is a domain name. This is perhaps the record most important decision you can make. You want something that is professional; the domain name will signal the spirit of your business. elude with cute names; people lean to skip to the next website.

Try to pick a name that is stunted and tranquil to reminisce. Think about your buyers when they try to achieve your web site. Will be tranquil to enter? Can you denote your domain name at the telephone lacking greatly bother? This is going to be your spirit in the internet from now on, so pick cleverly. In the beginning of this article, we went over the basics. Now, we will look at this topic a little more in-depth. Choosing the web hosting group that is right for you is a long handle. There will be millions of options, it is important to ask querys and that the web hosting group answers those querys adequately.

The most crucial purpose of any web hosting group is their reliability. If the site does not deal enough hole, then your website will be close down for all or part of each month. This is not the goal you have set for your business. Ask the web hosting group if it deals an uptime contract. commonly if a group deals a contract of this enter, their service is unfailing.

When you are new to Internet marketing, you will have a lot of query. Sometimes the querys you require to ask will not be during business hours. It is important that buyer service is open by telephone, send, or even a chat view twenty-four hours a day to answer any querys that you may have.

Another service that is just as crucial as the remainder is the storeroom and bandwidth that your website will require. Most prone, you will not know what your website is, but the web hosting group will. If you want a gaudy site, you will require more bandwidth. It is important that you know before hand the ins and outs of web hosting companies. A good way to find your answers is to do some examine.

It is little things, such as this, that may aid you in your search. So, sit down and decide which avenue would be best for you to take.

Do you remember the last time you read a review of a mobile website? Lately it’s the mobile applications that gather all of the public attention, generating an enormous number of retail downloads. Most statistics show that mobile websites are visited almost the same number of times as mobile apps are used even though the number of mobile websites is twice as big as the number of mobile apps. Why is that?

Well, it’s mainly because mobile apps are more focused and purposeful, their interface is highly optimized for specific tasks. And also because with mobile apps people have fun.

Differences and Similarities

The main difference between a mobile website and a mobile app is the need for download and installation. Mobile website is a website designed and developed especially for mobile devices, accessible through mobile browser, but without the need of any download and installation. Mobile application means a software application, designed and developed to work on a particular mobile device – and it has to be downloaded and installed.

There are many similarities: most mobile apps communicate with web in one way or another, mainly to receive and publish user information. Most mobile apps include a web browser component and visualize web content. There are some apps, based on web technologies through SDKs of the mobile phone operation systems, through development platforms and web widget engines. These “web apps” are not just re-sized and optimized websites for mobile, but rich-flavored mobile applications.

Pros and Cons of Mobile Apps and Mobile Webs

Trying to list the pros and cons of mobile apps and websites is not easy, but there are a few general nuances that come to mind:

Compatibility, easy updates, independence – these are the main advantages of choosing a mobile website for your business. It’s also cheaper for development and easier to be discovered by consumers. The main downside of mobile websites is their limited functionality and usability. They are accessed through a web browser only and the business model for monetizing services is very difficult.

Mobile apps, on the other hand, provide richer functionality, integrated user experience, full interface control and higher performance. Mobile apps can provide access to many device features: notifications, accelerometer, camera, GPS, video, audio, etc. Mobile apps can initiate and accept calls and SMS with full address book and calendar integration. Of course this comes with higher user expectations too. Mobile app development projects are generally more expensive too: they need to support many platforms, installation and deployment is controlled. Development time and effort are almost the same as for a website, but development specialists are generally a more expensive resource. Other disadvantages of mobile apps are the complex updates, which need additional installation and the difficult distribution, due to poor discoverability.

A Few Words on Monetization

When it comes to monetization, in general it is easier to sell access to a service through an app than through a website. Mobile apps provide easier billing of end-users, although revenue-sharing with a reseller/distributor is often required. The modern online application stores are similar to the first web directories, product descriptions and keywords are very important. If you sell apps online, it is important to work with categories, search filters and advertising opportunities. The search engines of application stores are evolving and some of them are now even location-based.

App or site — regardless of choice it is very important to utilize mobile web to its full potential as an additional business channel with added value – to offer something more to existing users and attract new ones. The market of mobile websites theoretically is bigger, but in the distribution of applications, the resellers are actively involved in their marketing and sales and you should use that to your advantage. Working with mobile network operators and mobile app stores brings additional channels to generate traffic and attract new customers.

Some Recommendations

We recommend using mobile websites to “mobilize” existing services that are rich in informational content – but limit them to their most important features, especially the ones that are important to use on the run. Use mobile applications for specific marketing goals: promotional campaigns, prize games, using of special features of the phone. Don’t forget that the attractiveness of mobile apps brings added value to the end-user. We advise our clients to start with mobile websites as a first step of their mobile strategy and when they have enough users, learn from them, optimize the offering and then add value with a mobile app. Mobile apps sometimes also can be a recommended first choice, if for example you operate an established brand name with large existing customer base in web, or if you are looking to offer special functionality, which cannot be provided by a website.

Easy, quick and convenient way of access to information: that’s the reason people use mobile websites. Special functionality and fun: these are the additional reasons that motivate people to download, install and use mobile applications.

SEO is such a hot topic these days. How do you get your web site within the first page or two of the search engines? How do you increase your Google page rank?

There are companies who dedicate themselves full time to doing SEO at a pretty penny. Something a lot of people can’t necessarily afford to pay for or spend the time on. However, there are some simple things you can do when building your site that will help increase your chances of having good results. In no particular order, below are 10 of these items…

1. Title Tag

Near the very top of a web site’s source code you’ll find various meta tags — the standard ones being the Title, Description and Keyword tags. The title tag is technically not a meta tag, though it is commonly associated with them. The title tag plays such a large role in the indexing of your web site, that it is considered the most important of the three.

A page title is the first thing a search engine will look at when determining just what the particular page is about. It is also the first thing potential visitors will see when looking at your search engine listing.

It’s important to include a keyword or two in the title tag — but don’t go overboard – you don’t want to do what’s known as “keyword stuffing” which does nothing but make your web site look like spam. Most people will include either the company name, or title of the particular page here, as well.

2. Meta Tags

There are two primary meta tags in terms of SEO — the description and the keyword tag. It’s debatable whether the search engines use the description tag as far as ranking your results. However it is one of the more important tags because it is listed in your search result — it is what users read when your link comes up and what makes them decide whether or not to click on your link.

Be sure to include a few relevant keywords in this tag, but don’t stuff it with keywords either. The description tag should read like a sentence — not a keyword list.

Due to “keyword stuffing” many search engines now completely disregard the keyword tag. It is no longer nearly as important as it was years ago, however it doesn’t hurt to include them in your source code.

When creating your keyword list, you’ll want to think of the specific terms people will type in when searching for a site like yours. Just don’t go overboard — too many duplicates are not a good thing (as in “web designer” “web designers” “custom web designer” “html web designer” “your state here web designer” – you get the idea). Those are all basically the same, so pick one or two variations at the most and move onto the next keyword.

3. Proper Use of Heading Tags

This is a very important element to consider when writing out your site copy. Use of heading tags helps users, web browsers and search engines alike know where the major key points of your copy are.

Your main page title should use the <h1> tag — this shows what your page is about. Use of additional tags, such as <h2> and <h3> are equally important by helping to break down your copy. For one, you’ll see a visual break in the text. But as far as the search engines are concerned, it will automatically know what your topics are on a page. The various heading tags give a priority to the content and help index your site properly.

4. Alt Attributes on Images

Putting alt attributes on your images actually serves two purposes. In terms of SEO, putting a brief yet descriptive alt attribute along with your image, places additional relevant text to your source code that the search engines can see when indexing your site. The more relevant text on your page the better chance you have of achieving higher search engine rankings.

In addition, including image alt attributes help the visually impaired who access web sites using a screen reader. They can’t see the image, but with a descriptive alt attribute, they will be able to know what your image is.

5. Title Attributes on Links

Including title attributes on links is another important step that any good web site will have. That’s the little “tool tip” that pops up when you place your mouse over a link. These are especially important for image links, but equally useful for text links.

As a note, you should use descriptive text for your links. “Click here” doesn’t really tell a person – or more importantly, the search engines — what the link is. At the very least put a title tag that will explain that “Click Here” really means “Web Design Portfolio” for example. Better yet – make the main link text something like “View my web design portfolio” — this will give some value to the link showing that the resulting page is relevant to searches for portfolio’s.

6. XML Sitemap

My last post referenced the sitemaps used by web visitors to help them navigate through your site themselves. However, there’s another version — XML sitemaps — that are used by the search engines in order to index through your site, as well.

This list of ALL pages / posts / etc. of your site also includes information such as the date the page was last modified, as well as a priority number of what you feel the most important pages of your sites are. All elements that help the search engines properly find and link to all content of your site.

7. Relevant Content

Having content relevant to your main page or site topic is perhaps the most important SEO aspect of a page. You can put all the keywords you want in the meta tags and alt image tags, etc — but if the actual readable text on the page is not relevant to the target keywords, it ends up basically being a futile attempt.

While it is important to include as many keywords in your page copy as possible, it is equally as important for it to read well and make sense. I’m sure we’ve all seen keyword stuffed pages written by SEO companies that honestly don’t make much sense from the reader’s point of view.

When creating your site copy, just write naturally, explaining whatever information you’re discussing. The key is to make it relevant, and to have it make sense to the reader. Even if you trick the search engines into thinking your page is great — when a potential customer arrives at the site and can’t make heads or tails of your information and it just feels spammy to them — you can bet they’ll be clicking on the next web site within a matter of seconds.

8. Link Building

We’ve probably all heard of Google Page Rank — it seems to be every web site owner’s dream to have as high a page rank as possible. While the algorithm for determining page rank encompasses many elements, and is constantly changing, one item is the number of links pointing to your web site.

Now, you’ll want to steer clear of link farms and other spammy attempts at getting links to your site. However there are many reputable and niche directory sites that you can use to submit your web site, or specific blog articles to.

With genuine content — especially if you have a blog — you’ll be able to generate links with other web sites and blogs, as well. It’s somewhat of a give and take, in that if you link out to other sites, you’ll find sites linking back to you — and hopefully see your page rank going up, as well!

9. Social Media

Although technically not SEO, Social Media is such a growing factor in getting your web site noticed, that it’s an important element to include in your plan.

Social media ranges from social networks like Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn — to social bookmarking sites such as Delicious, Digg, StumbleUpon and many more. There is a lot of relationship building involved, but as you build your own networks and build quality content on your web site or blog, you’ll see traffic to your web site increasing, as well.

As with any relationship, it is a give and take. Don’t just expect to join a site like Twitter for the pure sake of pushing your content. That just won’t fly — your true intentions will stick out like a sore thumb and do nothing but turn people off.

Even if you are on the site purely for networking reasons, the key is to make friends. Help out members of your network if they ask for a “retweet” or Digg, give helpful advice if asked, etc. You’ll see the same in return.

If you write a great post and have built meaningful relationships with peers in your niche, you’ll often find that friends will submit your posts and give you votes on the social bookmarking sites. The more votes you receive, the more likely your post is to be noticed by others and shared around, often resulting in additional link backs from other blogs, etc.

10. A Few SEO Don’ts — Flash and Splash

Along with any list of Do’s come the Don’ts. As far as SEO is concerned, two of these items are splash pages (often consisting of a flash animation) and all flash web sites.

Yes, flash is pretty! Full flash web sites can actually be amazing to look at — their own bit of interactive artwork. But unfortunately the search engines don’t get along well with Flash. Although there is talk of possible advancement in this area, for the most part the search engines cannot read Flash.

All that great content that you wrote for your site will not be seen by the search engines if it’s embedded into a Flash web site. As far as the search engines are concerned, your all flash web site might as well be invisible. And if the search engines can’t see your site content, a good chunk of potential customers will miss out on what you have to offer, too.

Equally as “pointless” are splash pages. Once very popular, the splash page should no longer be an important feature of any site. While splash pages used to serve as an introduction into a web site (often with a flash animation), it is no longer seen as helpful, and often times might actually annoy visitors.

For one — it’s an extra click to get into your content. Worse is when you don’t give a “skip intro” option or set of links into your main site content — because you’re essentially forcing your visitors to sit through the full animation. If you’re lucky, this will only annoy them… if not — they’ll just leave without giving your main web site a shot. And without an html link pointing into your site, the search engines have no way to continue either (unless you made use of a sitemap.xml file — but still…)

A good alternative to both issues is to make use of a flash header. There’s no problem to include a flash animation at the top of your main site, or as a feature within the content area, etc. Because this is an addition to your web site, as opposed to a full separate element.

Quality + Cheap can be accomplish if the provider is purchasing in extreme bulk amounts and balancing overselling professionally. So perhaps it’s the million dollar question attached to a thrifty price tag. The short and sweet answer is yes: cheap web hosting really does exist. Web owners looking for a hosting provide may follow the initial question up with an inquiry was to whether or not the services are watered down due to the inexpensive monthly hosting fees. The answer is absolutely not. The secret to finding reliable cheap hosting providers, however, is opting for a host with a proven track record of delivering affordable and quality hosting services depending on your web hosting needs.

How Can Web Hosts Offer Services at Affordable Rates?

Many customers may wonder how in fact is it that hosting providers offer web hosting plans at such affordable rates. There are a couple of reasons for the affordability. Competition is a huge factor in the reasoning behind cheap web hosting. With new web hosting companies emerging every day seemingly by the hundreds, the competition tends to drive down the costs. For example, if web hosting company A provides the exact same hosting features as company for several dollars more every month, chances are the potential customer will opt for the cheaper package offering the identical bang for the buck.

Furthermore, it’s caused providers to advance with the technological times and provide the most and fasted features currently being offered by competitors. Web hosting features including unlimited storage space, bandwidth, e-mail accounts, MySQL databases, FTP access, respectable network uptimes, cPanel support and quality customer support are generally included in most hosting packages.

Another factor in cheap web hosting is the fact that a single server is shared among multiple users. By allocating web hosting space to numerous customers, it allows the web host to save on resource and additional maintenance costs. Although customers share one server, hosting resources such as disk space, bandwidth, free domain names, MySQL and FTP access are shared among customers to support individual websites. While shared hosting has many advantages, however, it also has its drawbacks. Larger websites with heavy traffic flow don’t make very good candidates for shared hosting; instead Virtual Private Servers are the better option.

Conclusion

If they can do that and don't get greedy along the way there is no reason why they cant accomplish what your looking for, but here is the truth. Along the way they either get greedy and begin to oversell to an extreme, cut staff, ignore support issues, or a combination of those. Although there are many more very affordable web hosting providers, it is important to perform in-depth research to find only those hosts that offer an abundance of free features and services at very affordable prices. Even small business ventures have the ability to launch and maintain a professional-looking website on any budget. Just remember when choosing a web hosting provider to make an initial assessment of your hosting needs, and then determine which best accomdates your website needs.

1. Update the pages on your website often. Stagnant sites are dropped by some search engines. You’ll be able to even put a date counter on the page to display when it was last updated.

2. Offer supplementary value on your website. For affiliates and partners you can place links to their sites and products and ask them to do the same for you. You can also promote their books or videos, if these products relate to your industry and are not in competition with your own product.

3. You can allow for customers to ‘opt in’ to get rebates and exceptional offers. Place a link on your site to invite customers to ‘opt in’ to get a every month newsletter or worthful vouchers.

4. Add a link to your primary page with a script ‘Book Mark or Add this site to your Favorites’.

5. Add a link ‘Recommend this site to a Friend’ so that the visitor can email your website link, with a prewritten title, “Thought you might be interested in this”, just by clicking on it.

6. Mark your website so that visitors all of the time know they are on your site. Apply consistent colors, logos and slogans and always leave a ‘Contact Us’ link on each page.

7. Make a ‘Our Policies’ page that clearly defines your philosophy and principles in dealing with your customers. Likewise post your privacy policy besides so that clients know they are secure when they visit your site.

8. Produce a FAQ page which addresses most of the doubts and clarifications about your product or your company that are likely to be asked. This serves to resolve most of the customers doubts in their first visit to your site.

8. See that each page on your website has appropriate titles and keywords so that your customer can find their way back to your site if they lose the book mark.

9. Never spam a client, who has opted for newsletters, with unsolicited emails. Later if they choose they want to ‘opt out’ of the mailings, make certain you honor their request and take them off the mailing list. They might still come back if they like your products. But they’ll certainly not come back if you continue to flood their email box with mails they no more want to get.
